A permanent form of identification for lifelong protection
A microchip is one of the simplest and most effective ways to help ensure your pet can be returned home if they’re ever lost. Unlike collars and tags, which can fall off or be removed, a microchip provides permanent identification that stays with your pet for life.
At Reese Veterinary Hospital, we strongly recommend microchipping as part of routine preventive care for pets of all ages.

How Microchipping Works
A microchip is a tiny device—about the size of a grain of rice—that is placed just beneath the skin between your pet’s shoulder blades. The procedure is quick, safe, and similar to a routine injection.
Each microchip contains a unique identification number that can be scanned by veterinary clinics, shelters, and animal control agencies. That number is linked to your contact information in a national database.
